Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

November ~ 'T-H-A-N-K-S' ~ read a book where at least one of the title words starts with the letters 't-h-a-n-k-s' (I will accept books that start with articles (English ones would be words like 'the' or 'a') for the applicable letter) . . . or level up by spelling out the entirety of the word!

(For those who would like to keep track, a thread for all the year's monthly focus challenges can be found here.)

(stay tuned for our unofficial Christmas Reads challenge starting mid-month!)

My plans:

T ~ This Promised Land
H ~ Hope's Enduring Echo
A ~ Happily Ever After on Huckleberry Hill
N ~ Standing in the Need of Prayer: A Modern Retelling of the Classic Spiritual {GM children's}
K ~ The French Kitchen
S ~ A Searching Heart

Spell T-H-A-N-K-S using title words.
